It’s a VM Motori diesel and they were bought and are now owned by FCA. It’s important to point out the 3.0 GM diesel is from an Italian company and design too. The Ford 3.0 is British. And the baby 2.8 GM started life as a VM Motori too till GM bought the design and now makes it in Thailand. I have a 2nd Gen Ecodiesel with 100k miles and not a single issue with it, I’ve been pleased and I work it hard for my work.

Watching from Australia I like the appearance of the RAM mainly because I don't think the front is overdone like so many of the new models coming out over there. We are starting to get your USA 'trucks' over here and personally I think that only people with a size problem get them. You see the driver looking around as they rev up and take off to make sure people are looking at them. Our roads, parking spaces and even driveway into out homes are big enough to cater for your Double Big Mac size vehicles.

The rams don’t need a 10 speed. It already has so many gears. When cruising at 45mph I’ve noticed my ram doesn’t really like it. It’s like it’s trying to find a gear to be happy with so it’s constantly up shifting and downshifting. I feel like a 10 speed would be way even worse. A truck doesn’t need a 10 speed lol.

So that’s weird that the ram tranny is gear hunting with a diesel (OP, does your Ram have the ecodiesel?) because their torque lets them accelerate easily from a low RPM without having to kick down a gear first.

As someone who owns the 2015 ecodiesel with 80k miles these new ones are genuinely impressive, I love my ram. This new one glides down the road even on 22's unreal experience in a truck. It's the first FCA product in my family in near 30 years, and have been blown away with this truck it's my swiss army knife. The thing with the diesel is meant to be a highway cruiser, which is where they shine, for the person who drives a lot but needs a truck. After 20 months of ownership and 60k miles I could honestly say I'd buy it again, nothing but maintenance and recalls, even on the original pads and rotors with 80k miles. My next Ram will be a Longhorn in patriot blue with the chrome bumpers(I don't like rock chips) idk if I will buy the diesel or not simply due to my move closer to work.

In case the urban folk and international audience are still mystified why mid and heavy trucks are so popular in the US, it’s because our tax authority allows great first year and lifetime use depreciation/write offs of the cost of the truck, provided it is used for commercial reasons over 50% of the time. Even in Year 1. Section 179 tax code depreciation advantage. I worked and lived away from the States for almost 15 years and was myself amazed at the sheer volume of mid and heavy pickup trucks when I returned back full time to the States but after learning about that tax rule, it made sense. In addition to our highway and suburb road specs.

Which is probably accurate more or less, but he failed to mention convienience. Spending like a 1/2 of the time at a gas, as well as you know, helping the environment. I definitely think that the hemi is irrelevant and is only there for people that want the loud scream of a V8.

Becareful driving a lot in the city could be a headache in the long run with the emission system, make sure you drive 20-30 min on the interstate every 2 weeks to keep your dpf clean. Short trips, in town driving, lots of idle time kills modern diesel when the emission system is in place. I own the previous gen never a issue but I drive more 75/25 highway/city with 80k miles of problem free ownership.

God review. The RAM Laramie with the EcoDiesel is an awesome piece of machinery. I'm not interested in an elect truck, though. As soon as you put some extra weight on any electric vehicle, it's range is *SERIOUSLY* affected. It essentially becomes useless for towing, or hauling any payload. In fact, the EcoDiesel is far more environmentally friendly than a purely electric powered vehicle. What would be truly amazing, would be for RAM to come out with a true hybrid system that could be mated with either of the current engines they have on offer. The EcoDiesel, the 6-cyl Pentastar, or the 5.7L HEMI. If they could manage to pull that off successfully, wherein the truck performance, handling and fuel economy didn't suffer with the hybrid section turned off (if needed), while pushing the fuel economy upwards of 40 MPG highway / 25-30 MPG city, that would be a game changer for a lot of people. I think it could be done, but they would need to use lighter/stronger materials to build the truck. Unfortunately, they'd probably gouge the consumers for it.

Awesome review as usual! I love getting the perspective of a “non-truck guy” as compared to the TFL fellas. Missed a couple of things though: In the rear floor, there are Ram Bins for storage. The bins have pull out liners that allow you to put ice and have cold drinks while on the road. They are very deep and can hide all manner of things from prying eyes. Second, the EcoDiesel is a $4995 option over the base 3.6 V6 Pentastar. The Hemi is $1495. The cost jump from the Hemi to the EcoDiesel is actually $3500.

Der Schwindel nah that’s wasn’t the issue, the main failure was lack of sales and confusion on what the Titan XD was. The Titan XD was NOT a 2500 competitor, it was built to a middle ground between the 1500 and 2500 class (so like 2000) and the retuned 5.6 Endurance v8 and the 5.0 Cummins fit the bill perfectly! The owners I met when I was a porter at a Nissan dealer really liked them, but for most of them this was their first new truck. just the Titan doesn’t sell well. so Nissan and Cummins decided to split because of slow sales. Which sucks because no joke the Titan is a really good and comfortable truck and their 5.6 endurance v8 is really reliable, and you can find them for a good price used. But yet I like to own cars that you don’t see all the time, so this truck also appeals to me in that way too.

A V8 diesel in a 1/2 ton would almost axe the need for a 3/4 ton cummins truck. Besides that 5.0 cummins was not a very good powertrain. The eco diesel is the fuel efficient alternative to the hemi.

brjha I mean it would have to be retuned obviously but I think it would be better fit than the Fiat sourced eco diesel, and the main downfall of it was the transmission the engine itself was good for that weird 5/8 ton truck Nissan was going for

The 5.0L is a very heavy engine, about 900lb. alone, and I don't think that includes after treatment systems or a beefier transmission, which would be necessary to handle the torque. With that much weight, you'd have to increase the GVWR and upgrade the suspension just to maintain the payload rating, which would make it more than a 1/2 ton but still less than a 3/4 ton. Basically, it would be the Ram 1500 version of the Nissan Titan XD, and that segment was proven to not be so hot.

emdec55 yeah true it would be really heavy totally forgot about the weight, and really the main reason they made this weird in between class is because Nissan knew they would do way worse if they made a true 3/4 ton truck, they just got a lot of sales from people who don’t want a big 3/4 ton heavy duty truck but needs more than what a 1/2 ton could handle Plus it makes it possible to get a crew cab with a 8 foot bed and without having to get a bigger engine (as the XD could still have the 5.6 endurance v8 as the regular Titan)

It’s not overly impressive for tow ability. I’m looking for a 1/2 ton that gets good mileage empty but can still tow up to 10,000lbs when I need it. I’d opt for the F150 3.5 litre Ecoboost myself. I’m waiting to see specs on the new 2021 F150 hybrid 3.5 Ecoboost coming out. I think my saved pennies will be going towards that. They’re claiming 1,100kms per tank empty. If that equates to 30mpg.... I’m getting one!

Nice review! Just a few things. The Night editions are the other colors that you want other than black. They offer the majority of Ram's colors with same black trim as seen here(my favorite is Delmonico Red over black). 4x8 plywood does fit flatly between the Ramboxes. On the price of the diesel upcharge, not only does Ram allow diesel on every trim, the competition also ends up being more expensive because of it. Ram's surcharge over the V8s is comparable to Ford and GM, and in some cases less, again because you can get a Tradesman with diesel. No F150 XL(fleet only) or Chevy Silverado LS.(can't get a Trail Boss Custom diesel either). Oh, and a Ford F150 Limited costs $75k, as does a completely loaded GMC Denali, so the price of a loaded Ram is the price of admissions these days.

My cousin's EcoDiesel just blew up with only 110,000 miles on it. Dodge told him too bad, even though he bought the extended warranty to 100000 miles for $3500. After looking online, I see that this is a common problem. EcoDiesels are a POS. These engines should be able to get over 300000 miles before they are done. Do not buy.
